Suspects say thefts were to fund 'drug habits.'

Two Fairfax residents were arrested Friday afternoon at Northgate Mall for burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary and grand theft.

According to San Rafael police Sgt. David Cron, Kaitlyn Brierly, 18, was detained by mall security around 2:40 p.m. after attempting to exit Macy's with stolen goods, primarily jewelry. Joseph Warner, 23, was then picked up in the parking lot in his truck by police officers.
